nicolaswaldron Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 i know toyota trd has a start/stop push button, does any one know how this works and could instruct me on how to do this? i know a reg push button would re-engage the starter if pushed twice, but this trd starts does both, start and stop the engine, if anyone has any clues please let me know.

SuperSportSilverado Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I had the push button start on my last truck was pretty easy to set up just had it wired to the starter relay and the ignition on wire. You still had to put the key in and put it to the on position and then push the button, and to shut it off you just turn the key back. Now to do what you are talking about idk I think the TRD's and other like it its hooked up to the ecm and the ecm gives out the on/off signal. But tottally not sure ill look it up pretty interested on how it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddieo818 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Doesnt sound like too bad of an idea, I know alot of people do the remote start with their alarm system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxstsmith Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I would leave the ingnition alone and add the push button for the start. This way you will still have some security. You, might be able to pick up a Viper push button for pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwest94 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 On my Toyota, when I put the key into the ignition all I have to do is tap it and it stars up on it's own. I'm so use to how that starts that I find myself doing that with the SS but it doesn't start up on it's own. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so use to how that starts that I find myself doing that with the SS but it doesn't start up on it's own. : ( the 06 has PCM controlled starting lol... as far as the push button thing goes... stylintrucks sells the buttons in every color, all they really do is bridge the gap between the starter solinoid and the ignition. however, you CANT wire any type of near safe ON/OFF ignition system without the key. and wihtout the *internal* help of the PCM, it will be near impossible for you to get a button that turns the car not only on, but off. to install a push button start- you need the schematics for the PCM in your truck, the fuse block under hood (if an 06)... if a pre-06 all you have to do is run a wire from the ignition wiring (the wire thats only hot when the ignition is ON, not a starter wire), to the starting wire on the starter solinoid. doing this will make the truck act just like the SRT10 does. you will put the key in, turn to ON, and push the button to start.
